The menu does change but you will not be disappointed. The atmosphere is pretty cool with the different tables set up. We stopped by for Saturday brunch and had a hard time deciding what to eat as everything sounded great. Settled for their version of a Benedict and it hit the spot. I would suggest getting the breakfast sausage if it's still on the menu as it was not what I was expected but man was it tasty. Now I just need to get back to try all the oysters they have.

part 1 of my Publican review - we did some apps and zerts, including 4 rounds of oysters 🦪 each round more delectable than the last 😏 my favorite part was the complementary bread 🍞 came with these fancy spreads (see 2nd photo) !! another highlight was the chicken 🍗 i forgot to take a pic 🤳 but just know that cody approved it 🥳 🙏🏽👏🏽 pt 2 of @publicanchicago review 😉 this salad was nice but nothing crazy. the leaves were so annoyingly large, i had to cut them into quarters bc i truly could not fit it in my mouth 👄 we wanted a $100 filet, but they were sold out 😠😠 what a shame! we were going to order 4 for the table, so their loss i guess. we got the skirt steak 🥩 instead, which was decent. the vegetables on the side of the skirt steak were SO GOOD !!! i would order that again and throw the steak 🥩 straight in the garbage 💯• also what heck are these words in the dessert menu? that sounded like gibberish so we went elsewhere 👍🏽 • overall, we ordered everything on the menu and i think i would come back ! it was worth trying; you just have to order the right thing 👏🏽

Absolutely, make sure you make reservations for your party and ask them about any special arrangements that may be needed. Check out their brunch menu ahead to make sure it fits everyone's dietary needs. Order lots of different dishes and pass them around. No shortage of great drinks, either. I really enjoyed their version of bloody mary. Have fun.

Highly unlikely, but I'd call publican quality meats, their butcher shop next door to the restaurant.

While the emphasis is on pork and seafood, some good vegetarian options are available. If you let your server know, they can accommodate any dietary preference with aplomb.
